Studying with a Monk


Everything in the ego’s world is the result of comparing. 


compared myself to other salesmen and would blame myself because I wasn’t making as much money as them.


When I started doing meditation, I began to build separation from this egoistical mind, which is consistently making these comparisons. 


A lot of us try something and get rejected, so we give up. 





Even worse, we blame ourselves for a long time and get depressed. 



When I started to do meditation, I began to identify my ego and was able to build separation from it. That’s what happens when we meditate: We separate from the part of ourselves that dwells on comparisons, and start learning to live a life that isn’t driven by our egos.
